You can get a dump of all the roles with pg_dumpall -g. If you really need to filter out roles per database, my best suggestion is to filter a global role dump them with the pg_shdepend catalog for each database. -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ PostgreSQL Replication, Consulting, Custom Development, 24x7 support
